The Commission decided that it would be appropriate to mark its twenty-fifth session by a special introduction to its report 1/, giving the substance of the statements made by the representative of the Secretary-General in opening the session and by the Chairman on taking the Chair. 2. Mr. V. Winspeare Guicciardi, Under-Secretary-General, Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva, reviewed some aspects of the Commission's work and achievements during the quarter century of its existence. 3. The work of the Commission had been characterized by continuity and evolution. The continuity had been that of men and aims. Since the time of the League of Nations, there had been constant efforts to find ways and means of restricting the use of dangerous drugs to legitimate purposes. The evolution had been striking. First, the membership of the Commission had doubled and all regions of the world were now represented; secondly, the number of drugs being dealt with had multiplied many times. Those changes meant, unfortunately, that drug abuse now presented a risk to all countries. The evolution had, however, been reflected not only in the growth of the Commission, but in the increasingly comprehensive nature of its work. The participation of a number of United Nations bodies, specialized agencies and non-governmental organizations showed the multidisciplinary nature of the tasks to be accomplished. Action against drug abuse had always involved prevention, cure and law enforcement, but the thought had gradually emerged that the problem was first and foremost a social problem with, of course, an important health aspect. 4. Legislative work had occupied a large proportion of the Commission's time and efforts, starting with the Paris Protocol of 1948 for the control of synthetic narcotic drugs, followed by the Opium Protocol of 1953 and the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961.

  • Morocco and Cannabis Reduction, Containment Or Acceptance
    DRUG POLICY BRIEFING | 49 | March 2017 Morocco and Cannabis Reduction, containment or acceptance Tom Blickman1 KEY POINTS • Morocco continues to be the world’s largest producer of cannabis resin (hashish). Over the past 50 years, the Moroccan cannabis growers shown a remarkable resilience to government attempts to eradicate or reduce cannabis cultivation as well as a noteworthy ability to adapt to changing international market conditions. • Since Morocco’s independence the government has practiced a policy of containment regarding cannabis cultivation, allowing no new areas but tacitly allowing those already in production to be maintained. • The rapid increase in illicit cannabis cultivation in the Rif during the last decades, as well as poor soil conservation practices, have taken a heavy toll on the Rif’s already threatened forests and fragile ecosystems. • The unregulated cannabis market in Morocco has negative social consequences. Some 48,000 growers have arrest warrants hanging over their heads, which is a source of corruption and repression. An amnesty and decriminalization could be effective measures to diminish negative social consequences and open the debate about regulation. • Cannabis farmers in Morocco should have access to emerging legally regulated cannabis markets that are gaining ground worldwide. The challenge is to find a sustainable development model that includes cannabis cultivation in Morocco, instead of excluding cannabis and ignoring the realities of more than 50 years of failed attempts to eradicate the only viable

Consequently, a lot of European countries and the United States have accommodated this reality by methodically decriminalising or legalising the consumption of marijuana but rather regulated and institutionalised its production and distribution. The positive outcomes from the aforesaid arrangement cannot be over emphasised. Within the context of the above, Nigeria noted for one of the finest brands of marijuana must key into this vast economic and psycho- The Indonesian Journal of International Clinical Legal Education DOI: https://doi.org/10.15294/ijicle.v2i4.42302 Submitted: April 21, 2020 Revised: June 30, 2020 Accepted: Sep 21, 2020 Available online at https://journal.unnes.ac.id/sju/index.php/iccle © 2020 Authors.

  • South America, Which They Believe Was Headed for South Africa
    AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST X-1 INCSR 2002 X-2 Africa and the Middle East Angola I. Summary Angola does not have significant drug production, trafficking, or use. Cannabis is cultivated and consumed locally, but in relatively modest quantities. Angolan drug counternarcotics officials report seizures of cocaine coming from South America, which they believe was headed for South Africa. Nigerian traffickers appear involved in this cocaine traffic predominantly from Brazil to South Africa. Angola is the only Southern African Development Community member that has not signed the SADC counternarcotics protocol. II. Status of Country Angola is not a major center of drug production, trafficking, money laundering, or precursor chemical diversion, and it is not likely to become one. In 2001, despite serious resource constraints, the Angolan National Police increased dramatically the amount of cocaine and cannabis they seized. The police attributed the increased number of seizures to the ever-greater emphasis they placed on drug seizures and greater awareness of Angola as a transshipment point for cocaine. III. Country Actions Against Drugs in 2001 Angola has not signed the SADC counternarcotics protocol. There have been no reported cases of public corruption connected to narcotics trafficking. Although Angola has enacted legislation mandating treatment for those convicted of narcotics use, no public treatment centers are available. Angola cooperates with South Africa in fighting the flow of cocaine from Angola to South Africa, and South Africa has offered training and equipment to the Angolan police. Angola also cooperates on a regional basis via SADC, despite its failure to sign the drug protocol.

  • International Narcotics Control Strategy Report
    AFRICA AND THE MIDDLE EAST 483 INCSR 2004 Part I 484 Africa and the Middle East Angola I. Summary: Angola does not suffer from significant drug production or abuse; however, some cannabis is cultivated and consumed locally and some illegal drugs transit Angola, particularly cocaine from Brazil to South Africa. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the trafficking problem is growing. Angolan counternarcotics officials reported seizures of both cocaine and cannabis during the year. Angola is party to the 1988 UN Drug Convention. However, it is the only Southern African Development Community (SADC) member not a signatory to the SADC counternarcotics protocol. II. Status of Country Angola is not a major center of drug production, money laundering, or production of precursor chemicals, and is not likely to become one. Nevertheless, the police continued to seize cocaine and cannabis in 2003, and anecdotal evidence suggests that trafficking is increasing. During the year, the Government gave increasing coverage to drug seizures and arrests in the official media. Following the end of Angola's civil conflict in April 2002, border controls were relaxed. Now authorities have tightened border controls to prevent trafficking activity. III. Country Actions Against Drugs in 2003 Angola is a party to the 1988 UN Drug Convention, but it is not a signatory of the SADC counternarcotics protocol. Cases of public corruption connected to narcotics trafficking are rare. However, at least three counternarcotics officials suspected in the disappearance of cocaine seized in an earlier operation were arrested and were facing charges at the end of the year. Although Angola has enacted legislation mandating treatment for those convicted of narcotics abuse, there are no public treatment centers available.

  • La Construction Socio-Économique Du Cannabis Au Maroc Le Kif Comme Produit Traditionnel, Produit Manufacturé Et Produit De Contrebande
    La construction socio-économique du cannabis au Maroc Le kif comme produit traditionnel, produit manufacturé et produit de contrebande Kenza Afsahi Au Maroc, le cannabis1 a joué un rôle important dans le mode de vie de la société et dans son économie. Intégré dans différents domaines, il a d’abord été transformé à des fins alimentaires (sous forme de céréale), techniques (éclairage, fabrications textile et papetière) et médicinales2 (Bellakhdar, 2013). Puis, il a été utilisé comme drogue magique et introduit dans des rituels et des cérémonies religieuses. L’usage spirituel l’a popularisé: le cannabis permet de supporter la dureté du travail et le froid en hiver et, comme drogue récréative, il provoque l’ivresse et favorise les liens sociaux. A la fin duxix e siècle, le cannabis était cultivé pour le marché local et national sur de petites surfaces, aux côtés d’autres cultures traditionnelles. Les besoins des consommateurs pour l’usage récréatif n’étaient pas excessifs. Plus tard, pendant la 1. Le cannabis est une plante herbacée annuelle originaire d’Asie centrale, composée d’une seule espèce et de plusieurs sous-espèces ou variétés dont le Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, ruderalis de Cannabis et de Cannabis afghanica. Les scientifiques sont en désaccord sur le nombre d’espèces et de variétés de cannabis. Ses principes actifs sont des cannabinoïdes dont le Delta-9 tétrahydrocannabinol (thc) est le plus important. Usuellement, on distingue le chanvre à fibres qui contient très peu dethc et qui sert à produire des produits alimentaires, textiles ou industriels, du chanvre indien, riche en résine, exploité pour ses propriétés psychotropes.

  • Cannabis Sativa L
    Cultivation of Cannabis sativa L. in northern Morocco H. Stambouli, A. El Bouri, M. A. Bellimam, T. Bouayoun and N. El Karni Researchers, Forensic Science Laboratory, Gendarmerie Royale, Rabat* ABSTRACT Field studies on cannabis cultivation have provided socio-economic data relating to, inter alia, production, yield and income. But only laboratory analyses of cannabis plants can provide information on their chemical composition and their levels of psychoactive constituents, thus enabling them to be classed as a drug type or a fibre type. The present study, which covers cannabis in its fresh, dried and powdered forms, drew on fresh samples, obtained on the day they were harvested or imme- diately after preparation; that was done in order to prevent any alteration in the ͬ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) caused by the oxidation that takes place as the product ages. The purpose of this study is to determine the THC level in 245 speci- mens obtained from 30 cannabis plots in three provinces of northern Morocco: Al Hoceima and Chefchaouen, where cannabis cultivation has a long tradition, and Larache, where cannabis cultivation has started only recently. Qualitative analysis using high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection revealed the presence of both the acid and the decarboxylated form of the main cannabinoids, cannabidiol, THC and cannabinol, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used for the characterization of minor cannibinoids. Quantitative analysis using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectro- metry made it possible to determine the average ͬ-9-THC content of cannabis in its fresh form (0.5 per cent), its dry form (2.21 per cent) and its powdered form (8.3 per cent).
